Peterhead (home team)
- Peterhead have lost some momentum over the last month after a 2-0 defeat at home to Inverness CT, a 1-1 home tie with Queen of the South and a 3-1 defeat away to Hamilton Academical.
- Jordon Brown’s side have been rock solid in League One 2025-2026, however, with 43 points from 35 games putting them 5th in the table and above the mid-table Kelty Hearts by 17 points.
- The Blue Toon are in the habit of getting bodies behind the ball and pressing high to win back possession, which sets up some real problems for sides looking to counter-attack.
Kelty Hearts (away team)
- Kelty Hearts will have no choice but to sit deep and be compact against such a free-flowing side, with Tam O’Ware likely to set his team up in a 4-1-4-1 formation or a wide 4-3-3 depending on the match plan.
- The visitors score a mere 1.18 goals per-game away from home in League One, and ship an average of 1.71 goals per-game, suggesting this could be an open game.
Head-to-Head
- Peterhead have won three of the last five head-to-heads across all competitions (D1, L1).
- Peterhead have lost three of their last five matches in League One (W1, D1, L3).
- Kelty Hearts have won one of their last two away matches (W1, L1).
Key Players
- The Blue Toon talisman is Kieran Shanks with 17 goals in 35 League One appearances, while Cammy Cooper has two goals in his last five appearances for Kelty Hearts.
- Ricco Diack will lead the Kelty Hearts attack with six goals in 14 League One games and he is capable of causing problems when he is fit.
Betting Insights
- A Peterhead win at 1.97 is simply too good to ignore, especially with the hosts scoring an average of 1.71 goals per-game at home in League One 2025-2026.
- Back Both Teams to Score - Yes at 1.59 alongside Over 2.5 Goals at 1.69, given the clash of direct and vertical attacks against a compact, counter-attacking system should yield chances at both ends.
